That's A Wrap Bracelet

I think I may have ventured in geeky title realm. And, I think it could qualify for a Wheel of Fortune category. Any idea which one? Because I don't know.

A couple of weeks ago I watched this video on how to make wrap bracelets. That same day I stopped by a craft store and picked up a couple of supplies. The next night I sat down and made this wrap bracelet. I could not wait. It was fun and easy to make.

The next weekend, I showed my Mom and she said "I want one." Here you go Mom.

And I made another one for me.

The turquoise beads in my bracelet remind me of small world (as in I am looking at earth from space). It is a little funky, but I like how it turned out.

I have been wearing these bracelets (not my Mom's) almost everyday since I made them.

A couple of tips if you decide to make this bracelet: 1) Use round beads that are the same size. 2) I used a different type of cement than what was recommended in the video. Either I did not let the cement dry long enough or it peels off easily. Try the recommended cement. 3) I made the bracelets to wrap around twice. My wrist is 6.5", so I only had to use one yard of leather. If your wrist is larger, then you will have to use more leather. My bracelet fits just snug, but move just a little (was that vague enough?).

I am spending the weekend working on a few To-Do-List projects (not the list on the blog...I always have a few lists running simultaneously). What do you all have planned for the weekend?
